| NOTED AT THE GAME.
| The newspapers are looked after in fine
| shape. Each has one seat, and each reporter
| knows where he should sit from a neat sign.
| There are seats for the Tribune, GLOBE, Pho
| neer Press, Dispatch, Northwestern Sports
man, Sporting News and Sporting Life. A
| telegraph operator will occupy a central posi-
| ton.
Ii reports of all games played are to be re-
| celved at the grounds, why wouldn't it be a
| good idea to have Il large blackboard and
keep tab on all the games at the same
| time? This would please the crowd i'm
| mensely.
| Henry tickled the crowd immensely by his
| ieanness and awkwardness. He touched the
ball down in front of the plate the last time
he was at bat, but ran so slow that SowderS
got the ball to first ahead of him.
Murphy looks much better than his pictures
in the show windows. He is capital fielder,
and has the habit of knocking the ball where
| there is nobody to catch it,
Pickett slugs the ball with malice afore-
thought, but he should take a nine-mile walk
every morning to train down to the agility
necessary to cover first well.
There are lots of seats on the grounds, but,
II the weather is fine on Tuesday they will all
be filled, and the late corners will have to
stand up.
Cleveland seems to be better ball player
than ever He picked the ball up with neat
| ness and dispatch, and batted like house
ATTIRE"
McCauiey isn't slow as pitcher. Had he
been well supported the leaguers would have
got pretty nearly Il basket full of goose eggs.
Elmer Foster was remembered by the crowd
with generous applause for his fine pitching
in 1884. His umpirng was excellent.
Prescott makes favorable impression.
He hits the ball viciously and covers the
catcher's position in good shape.
The blackboard is too small or too far
away, or the man who makes calculations on
it makes his figures too small.
Wilmot famed out several times, but will
doubtless do some good work with the willow
and around the bases later.
Banning, of last years Milwaukees, played
center for the amateurs, but had hard luck in
holding the sky scrapers.
Weber played first for Ahern's nine, made
base hit put out eleven men and ate a
hearty supper.
Duryea pitched an inning, made hit and
spfained his right foot in the short space of
ten minutes.
The judge of the municipal court was
there to see that the ball was illegally de-
livered.
Stockwell is much admired for his head
work. He is polished gentleman Off the
field.
Crooks was boiling over with enthusiasm,
and did some pretty work in his fielding posi-
ton.
Frazee was third base for the picked nine,
but did poor work owing to lack of practice.
a good many ladies graced the grand stand,
but the weather was pretty chilly for them :.
.Ievne was several times roundly applauded
for his splendid stops of hot hits to left field.
Lynch, last years short stop for Minneapo-
lis, was member Of the vanQuished team.
Manager Barnes was giving out tips on
the quiet that he had the winners this time.
The new rules were criticised pretty Sc
verely by the od-timers.
A wire screen prevents the reporters from
being killed by foul tips.
The small boy who sees over the fence earns
the privilege.
Mccarthy is strong fielder and weak bat
ter, as usual
Vau's drop proves a big puzzler from
the start.
A. M. Thompson was there with yard-wide
smile.
Sowders is one of the coolest men in the
